Cooler temperatures and increased light seem to make the plants grow more compact.

John:
I see this in many Gladioli as well. Seems to me that they grow among taller
plants.
Also our light level here in N. America may be too low. Plants don't develop
the tissue turgor that they need to stay upright.
Most noticeable in plants in the Arum genus.

they need a deeper pot, to potted deeper? Or is this always going to be a
problem with these taxa when they're potted?
